sound goes away on reboot[SOLVED]

rnarch · 2012-03-23 01:17:43

I have installed alsa-tools and alsa-plugins but audiomixer command did not work. The error was:

cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument

I tried audiotester.sh script from http://www.linlap.com/wiki/audio+tester and sound started working.

The /etc/modprobe.d/sound file contained the entry:

options snd_hda_intel index=0 model=auto

However, on reboot the sound goes away again. I have to run the audiotester.sh script again. I am not able to correct the problem permanently.

If you're using ALSA try running alsamixer. Also make sure alsa is in your daemons line in /etc/rc.conf

The command alsamixer produces following error:

$ alsamixer
cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument

alsa is in the daemons list.

Thanks. Following command corrected the problem: "sudo alsactl store"

You need to work through the Beginners' Guide systematically including the pages it links to where those are relevant to you. Of course you will have problems if you don't follow the steps required to configure things properly in the first place.
